We had the good fortune of connecting with Sherwanna Livingston and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sherwanna, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
Of course! At LLYP Studios, we believe that branding with a purpose can change the world for the better. That is why we work with organizations of all sizes, from startups to large corporations, to develop branding strategies that not only promote their products or services, but also help make a positive impact on society with a powerful brand message to support their mission.

One of the ways we do this is by partnering with socially responsible companies and organizations. We help them by creating branding campaigns that not only increase their visibility, but also raise awareness about important social and environmental issues.

For example, we recently worked with a nonprofit organization that’s on a mission to disrupt the trends of violence and poverty in urban communities. We helped them develop a branding strategy that not only highlighted the benefits of their programs, but also educated their audience about the importance of using their personal influence to become an advocate for change. This increased brand awareness for the organization while also promoting a healthier social environment in the community .

In addition, we also make sure to practice what we preach by incorporating social responsible practices in our own agency. We donate to causes that are important to us and offer free business trainings to local nonprofit organizations.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

The quickest intro that I can give is: We are a team of Vision Catchers. We believe that great brands begin with great ideas and those are the ideas that change the world. We work intentionally with Visionaries and focus on digging deep into our clients “why” to reveal the unique purpose behind their brand.

In fact, this is how our brand was created. LLYP Studios started just as a Youtube channel “Live Love Your Passion” with the intention of spreading the power of belief in ones ideas. Our founder, Sherwanna Livingston, was laid off from her job while she was 5 months pregnant and was inspired to ignite her own path. The idea of LLYP grew into a vision that now impacts brands nationwide. Today, we are a full-service digital branding agency that has helped hundreds of businesses big and small to build their brand from ideation to conception. It is our mission to create a space where anyone can bring their vision to life, just like we have done for LLYP and our clients.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If you were visiting me in Dallas, some sights that you don’t want to miss is Klyde Warren Park and the Dallas Museum of Arts. Both are in the uptown Dallas area with a beautiful view of the city and downtown Dallas. There are live performances, an array of food trucks with diverse menu options, and shaded seating areas for a peaceful outdoor experience with friends or family.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to give a shoutout to my team! Without them we wouldn’t be able to deliver with so much excellence.
